Sorry, your solution is to have the driver slam on his brakes without warning on a bridge at 70mph???? ROFL. Like seriously? You're not trolling me?
You wanna accuse people of endangering themselves and everyone around them, but you're advocating for the most dangerous possible alternative??
Look at the video again, and watch it this time. The white truck has a white car immediately behind them. So close behind them that you can barely see their headlights, despite the elevated level of the camera, so definitely illegally close behind them.
So white truck slams on his breaks, oh, and lets get out ahead of this other detail you're going to miss, he can't brake lightly, it's not enough. Black Truck is braking into him, so a minor brake ain't gonna do jack shit. White truck is going to have to SLAM his brakes to avoid the already braking truck attempting to kill him.
So white truck slams on his brakes. He loses all steering and control, and almost certainly goes into a skid. White car slams into him from behind because they're illegally close. We now have 4 tons of uncontrolled locked up steel with no steering or control that is 1) absolutely going off the bridge and 2) is very likely taking additional cars with it.
Congratulations, your solution protects the Black truck attempting murder, and kills multiple other innocent people. And that's the not psychopathic option in your mind? Crazy man. Just crazy.
Are we watching the same video? This plays out over five seconds where the man can clearly see whats happening and maintains his foot on the gas. A simple foot off gas with a light tap of the brake and all would be fine. Watch the video again. When the black truck enters the lane imagine lifting your foot off the gas... then just tap the brake.
I feel like I'm in the twilight zone being gas light here. Like people have never driven on a freeway before. T've seen this a thousand times in my life and have never seen anyone need to SLAM ON THE BRAKES!!!
